Filter by:The Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Protocol (EMDR) was first developed by Francine Shapiro in 1987 and can be adapted for online and in presence administration. The aim of this study is to assess if a EMDR program (administered both online and in presence, depending on different conditions of patients) may help people recruited from general population suffering from COVID19 second (November 2021 to February 2022) and third (March 2022 to May 2022) quarantine in improving post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive-related (OCD) symptoms, as well as disgust, guilt, shame and their subjective unit of distress (SUD) and validity of cognition (VoC) levels.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of an intervention program with physical activity for 12 weeks on depression, social and emotional well-being and quality of life and health in adults with mild and moderate depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. - To determine the association of physical activity levels, sedentary behavior, sleep patterns, physical condition, diet, and general health status with mental and social well-being, and quality of life in a large sample of adult patients diagnosed with mild or moderate depression. 2. - To examine the predictive capacity of physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and physical condition on mild and moderate depressive disorder. 3. - To study the effect of a period without an intervention program with physical activity (8 weeks without exercise intervention) on the variables studied. 4. - To examine the role of the endocannabinoid system on depression as well as its behavior after an intervention program of physical activity. Participants will be involved in a physical activity intervention program for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare intervention group and control group to see if an intervention program with physical activity for 12 weeks improve depression, social and emotional well-being and quality of life and health in adults with mild and moderate depression.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), also known as "exercise capacity", is the capacity of respiratory and circulatory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscle during exercise for the generation of energy. Determinants of CRF include lung capacity, capillary density, cardiac output, hemoglobin concentration, and mitochondrial function. The research group studies how CRF is related to fuel utilization, yielding a mechanistic understanding of the association between lower CRF and worsening metabolic health via mitochondrial function. The objective of this study is to measure fuel utilization in response to habitual diet for one week in adolescents and young adults, ages 14-22 years (n=30). Fuel utilization will be estimated by glucose measures using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Habitual dietary intake will be collected via a mobile phone application (BiteAI, Inc) that uses artificial intelligence to extract nutrient information from food photographs. Participants will undergo two standard of care (SOC) meal tolerance tests at home - a glucose tolerance test and a Ensure® mixed meal tolerance test. CRF will be estimated by measuring maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) during a graded treadmill test. The hypothesis is that a higher VO2 max will be associated with increased fuel utilization, measured by lower glucose response to the SOC meal tolerance tests. The proposed study is described in the following aims: SPECIFIC AIM 1. Test for feasibility of completion of self-report dietary food records, completion of two at home meal tolerance tests that are standard of care for metabolic health screening, and completion of a seven-day continuous glucose monitor. SPECIFIC AIM 2. Identify nutrients and foods that are associated with an elevated glucose response. SPECIFIC AIM 3. Assess the influence of VO2 max on the glucose response to the SOC glucose tolerance test and Ensure® mixed meal tolerance test.
To analyze the effects of a Pilates exercise program on physical and mental health in people with type II diabetes mellitus.
Unrecognised changes in patients' vital signs after surgery can result in preventable complications. Current standard practice includes routine monitoring of patient vital signs up until hospital discharge. Upon discharge from hospital, all forms of routine vital sign monitoring ceases. The availability and use of wearable technology in healthcare is increasing rapidly. The role of wearable technology in the remote monitoring of patients at high-risk of post-operative complications and hospital readmission after discharge from hospital is unclear. This pilot study is aimed to assess the feasibility of using wearable technology in patients recovering from major intracavity surgery after hospital discharge in the Irish healthcare setting.
The use of zein nanoparticles as vehicles for drug delivery is under study, but of the effects observed in empty nanoparticles, in laboratory animals, the reduction of glucose levels was something worth studying. Thus, the present research on patients with prediabetes has been proposed. The objective is to assess the efficacy of zein nanoparticles on the glycemic control. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 60.
The proposed study evaluates the effect of medial and lateral wedges and carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) on lower limb forces and motion during walking. Previous work has used foam wedges of different stiffness and height placed under the heel to alter CDO alignment and alter lower limb mechanics. Medial or lateral wedges have been used by individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis in effort to reduce knee loading. In this study, medial and lateral wedges will be placed in participants shoes, with the tall side of the wedge placed on the medial or lateral aspect of the shoes, and participants will walk at controlled and self-selected speeds and complete physical performance measures. Participants will also walk without a CDO. The proposed study will provide evidence that can be used by physicians when treating knee osteoarthritis.
Since January 2010, a new magnetic resonance imaging scanner (Philips 3T, Achieva) is installed on the Baudot Building in Toulouse hospital. This tool, is completely dedicated to the research. It was installed with sequences RMN supplied by the manufacturer. Imagers also contain an instrumentation susceptible to evolution and/or to adjustment (antennas radio frequency, sheath of gradients, elements of physiological monitoring (for example control of the breath), regulation of the homogeneity of the magnetic field). This MRI scanner and this instrumentation are used for anatomical examinations or for paradigms of cognitiveresearch (for example of detection of intellectual activations following simple stimuli of fingers movement, visual tasks, or of mental processes). The developpement of this equipment is going to favor the emergence of numerous projects and new themes, up to there adressed by other techniques (psychophysics, EEG). To obtain good quality signals and know the practical limits of this imager, it is thus necessary that the researchers doctors, physicists and engineers, can finalize on volunteers' significant number, all the sequences RMN necessary for the use of these tools for the research. These developments are going to get organized around four main axes: 1 the control of the geometrical distortions (generated by the introduction of an object within the magnetic field) 2 Optimization of the parameters of sequences to improve the contrast and the spatial resolution of the obtained images 3 the development of new sequences 4 the feasibility study of the protocols of functional MRI
This is a study to asses the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses of EP395, administered by oral capsules, in healthy subjects with the aim to determine the safe dose range of EP395 for further clinical development
The primary purpose of this research study is to determine if the stiffness of a commercially available ankle foot orthosis (Malleo-Lok, Bio-Mechanical Composites, Des Moines IA) impacts gait biomechanics and overall joint level stiffness. Previously published research suggests that AFO stiffness can affect gait biomechanics and patient preference. However, previous studies have focused on traditional posterior strut devices with the strut aligned in the frontal plane to allow sagittal plane deflection. The Malleo-Lok is a novel, low-profile carbon fiber device with two laterally positioned struts aligned in the sagittal plane. The proposed study will provide insight that can be used by certified prosthetists orthotists (CPOs), physical therapists, and physicians to select the device that bests meets their patients' needs.
